Why did they have to go to Venezuela?

Know this for a fact....i´m venezuelan, I don´t know if Russel Crowe made a little research before buying those tickets, ...but Caracas is one of the most dangerous cities in the whole world....is that bad, that a person gets killed every 15 minutes, just by robbing you a phone....and it doesnt really matter whether you resist the robbery or not...they kill you anyway...and do you know whats funny, the venezuelan people from caracas are very arrogants, because they think they are better than the rest of the venzuelans..What is true, is that he based his actions in the matter that Venezuela has Strong Issues with USA, all due to our President Chavez....a really intelligent guy by the way (i´m being sarcastic)

Caracas is 70% a horrible place, crowded by the so familiar "BARRIOS DE CARACAS", i suggest you search the meaning on google, and 30% a not that bad place...

I saw on the website, that the filming location were actually in COLOMBIA...i dont blame the Director for not wanting to do a 60 second scene in Caracas City.

I've been to Caracas and you exaggerate. It's not that bad at all.

Hey "alberto rpa",
Are you happy about the new election?
I'm sure you voted for Capriles.
Good luck in 2019! (if you still alive)

Their flight was just to there, if you notice they then take a car to somewhere in the countryside.

Exactly! It seems all other posters don't remember that after landing in Caracas they were driving along the coast before going to a hotel.

Yey, they should better go to Russia. Snowden style.

Venezuela has an extradition treaty with the US:

I guess Liam Neeson was right, Yemen would have been the safer place, but not as beautiful as Venezuela. Plus one of them probably spoke Spanish, but how would they have made a living in Yemen if they don't speak Arabic?

Thank you for this post, Mr. Venezuelan.

The ending of the movie is interesting, because now their life (both of them) will be even worse than being in prison. And the kid will get killed in a few days.

Also, Crowe has not learned the most important of Neeson's lessons - don't escape, because for the rest of your existance you'll be living in fear of getting caught.

I own you.

Giving up/turning yourself in is an option theyll always have.
Escape from jail and country however is not an always available option.

It is a movie pal.

The USA has set up extradition treaties with every other country in the western hemisphere, even Cuba. I guess Venezuela makes most sense during the 2010 setting for this film: Venezuela is probably least friendly to the USA these days, and therefore least likely to cooperate with a treaty they signed.

Looking at the list of countries that don't yet have an extradition treaty with the USA, maybe Andorra is the nicest to live in. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d0/United_States_extradition_treaties_countries.PNG
